Country Grace Photography

I am branching out into the photography world!! And I'm super excited! Ive always enjoyed taking pictures. Mostly wildlife shots from our ranch, sitting in a deer blind shooting with my camera instead of my gun. Then once I had kids my camera card was, naturally, filled with pics of them. Since college I would day dream about starting my own photography business, but never really voiced it outloud. One day I was talking with my dad about how to bring in extra income for our family and i mentioned my desire to take pictures. He surprised me at how excited and supportive of the idea he was! It made me voice my idea a loud more often and eventually I just dove in head first. (not really knowing WHAT I was doing!) I researched cameras... went out just to look at some.... and came home with the Canon 7d! I loooove it! Next came hitting up family and friends for some free practice and VIOLA!! Country Grace Photography is in its beginning stages. I still have lots to learn... lots. And Im still practicing on my editing technique. But Im having a blast! So here our some of my faves from the photo shoots Ive done so far! I would love to hear any feedback or constructive comments!

About Me

So, I titled my blog "Counting My Blessings One by One" because God has blessed me so much in my life. And if I were to really sit down and start counting.... Well it would reach a high number!! But I know for sure my first 3 on the list - Chris, Colten & Allie. Chris is my number one. He's my best friend and has been since I was 15. I always knew I was going to marry him and I'm so glad it was part of Gods plan!! Then comes Colten and Allie. Everyday they do something that, in lack of a better word, amazes me! And I want to remember every cute, funny, precious thing they do. So I plan on writing them down in "here" and one day, maybe the kiddos will get to read it. Or Chris and I will look back one day and remember a wonderful memory. Anyways, that's the plan! We will see how it goes....
